Dallas maverick

Recommended viewing: ESPN's sit-down with Dallas Star and former Vogue intern Sean Avery. The hockey player's interest in fashion is well-documented, but the video's worth its full eight minutes for Avery's grandiose (yet plainspoken) pronouncements. He weighs in on the NHL's marketing platform (terrible, he could do better), the possibility of his own line (nah, he'll just style, thanks), and the Freudian heart of the matter: "It's probably my desire for dress-up that brings me back to the whole women's clothing thing." After watching the clip's footage of Avery pummeling guys twice his size—interspersed with shots of him at Marc Jacobs' S/S 2009 show—we're inclined to agree with whatever the guy says.
